I WOULD LIKE TO RAGE

D: Chloé Galibert-Laîné, FRA 2023, 11 min., English-French Original with English Subtitles – GP

À la recherche de l’émotion perdue. The starting point for this humorous and entertaining video essay on anger is the online show Critical Role, in which actors perform the emotions of characters from Dungeons & Dragons. This is followed by a quick GIF search and the realization that female anger is marginalized. In I WOULD LIKE TO RAGE, Chloé Galibert-Laîné ask themselves why they suppresse their anger, and why they are concerned about how those around them react to it. They explore the gendered ascriptions of emotions, especially anger, and addresses the context of traumatic experiences. What is perceived as authentic in the expression of anger, and what as fake or performed? Does the performance contain the power to heal?

DICKS: THE MUSICAL

D: Larry Charles, C: Aaron Jackson, Josh Sharp, Nathan Lane, Megan Mullally, Bowen Yang, DOP: Michelle Lawler, USA 2023, 86 min., English Original – GP

Macho, career-driven entrepreneurs Craig and Trevor look very similar – even their lives revolve around exactly the same things: Money, success, status, sex with women and their oversized … egos. While proving their sales talents at a new job, one night it hits them like scales from their eyes: they are twins and only they can bring their oddball parents back together! Based on their off-Broadway cult musical Fucking Identical Twins, comedians Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson are now whirling through international cinemas and streaming platforms with the support of hip US production company A24. Inspired by melodies and melodrama, with gay tips, raunchy punchlines every minute and gigantic outpourings of nonsense. Directed by one of the most anarchic US directors of recent times, Larry Charles (BRÜNO, BORAT, RELIGULOUS).
